If anyone makes a spurious rebuttal of the UK Supreme Court judgement today, that the definition of sex is determined by biology, please quote them what the court says about language: "The best way of ensuring that a coherent, stable and workable outcome is achieved is to adopt an approach to the meaning of a statute that is constant and predictable. This will be achieved if the legislation is construed according to the ordinary meaning of the words used."

Could the draft Conversion Practices Bill chill legitimate journalism? Parliament, Ofcom, press regulators and the EHRC must clarify protections for factual reporting. Julie Bindel’s investigation into Stephen Ireland shows why independent scrutiny matters wp.me/pfzAIZ-4jO

Having watched the oral evidence it is clear joint committee are, so far, only interested in hyperbolic support for #ConversionPracticesDraftBill Detransitioners & lesbians have not been invited The Draft Bill needs proper scrutiny, not the travesty we have had #BinTheBill
A joint committee made up of members of the House of Lords and House of Commons has been set up to consider the government’s Draft Conversion Practices Bill. The committee seeks views on how the draft bill could be improved. Get involved by 16 November ⬇️ committees.parliament.uk/com…

Happy days at Guardian Towers. Remind me, which columnists did Kath Viner drive out of the paper? Talcum X? Russell the Rapist? Oh, I remember now. It was the feminists. All three of us:

Stonewall's grubby finger prints are all over the tyrannical conversion bill. The fact they still enjoy government access despite consistently misrepresenting the law and pushing for mad gender nonsense is frankly appalling. telegraph.co.uk/gift/8acf1db…

Make space for the unexpected. Distraction Therapy: Against the Crowd – Japan explores new wave, punk and experimental sounds that challenge conformity and celebrate the freedom to be strange. Listen to the podcast and find your own rhythm wp.me/pgoFdc-4W6

Can we belong without surrendering our judgement? Distraction Therapy: Against the Crowd – Europe explores post-punk, experimental music and the freedom to resist conformity. Listen to the podcast and leave room for doubt, imagination and difference wp.me/pgoFdc-4VZ

Really comprehensive explanation of the Conversion Practices Bill by @Jebadoo2. I would think that parenting, teaching and social stewardship is exactly the process of shaping and fostering the character and identity of children? This bill smashes that purpose. It’s an embarrassment 🤦🏻‍♂️
NEW EPISODE! Will New Law Make 'Trans' People Unemployable? Could the Conversion Practices Bill create big risks for employers - and trans-identified employees? White-knuckle discussion with Dennis Kavanagh @Jebadoo2 premieres at 7.30pm TONIGHT (Tuesday 3 November) on YouTube! Links ⬇️ See you shortly...
